Default Straight pipes?

I picked up a set of custom straight pipes with Magnaflow tips for free of the regional forum.

I was wondering if anybody has these or has heard them. Any sound clips/videos would be nice as well.

I'm putting them on either tomorrow or Tuesday I'm just not sure what to expect.

If I like them I'll be putting my Ti's up for sale FYI.

cutouts after the x, so similar sound to strait pipes, though you do get the sound off the ground.

What cutouts do you have? Imconsidering them also.
I've researched them here on the forum and some people have said they don't like them because the leak, have you had that problem?
Thanks.

No leaking. My other 2 buddies put them on after I did, none of us have had any issues. Never heard about them leaking. They are DMH low profile, got them from Maryland Speed.

I put them on today...and OMG they sound amazing.

I def love the sound of them, very sick sounding if I may say. It's very loud though of course. Haha

Sound clip.....sorry quality isn't that good it's just an old digital camera. Doesn't do it justice.

Ohh and sorry for the language I was a little excited first time hearing the car from the outside.
